Megan Pickford's New York family day out before World Cup

Megan Pickford, wife of England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, made the most of her time in New York ahead of England's World Cup match against Panama. The 30-year-old shared a TikTok video showcasing a family day out with her seven-year-old son Arlo.

Hibachi and Broadway

In the clip, set to Jay-Z's 'Empire State of Mind', Megan and Arlo were seen at a hibachi restaurant where Arlo watched the chef perform. She captioned it: 'Arlo loved this guy.' The pair also attended the Broadway production of Harry Potter and walked through Times Square, where they spotted a large billboard featuring Jordan.

Family Background

Megan and Jordan have known each other since their teens, similar to Coleen and Wayne Rooney. They married in the Maldives in 2022 after postponing due to the pandemic. They have three children: Arlo, seven; Ostara Haze, two; and Misty Celine, born last year.

England's World Cup Journey

England's World Cup campaign saw a win against Croatia, raising hopes, but a recent draw with Ghana tempered expectations. All eyes are on Jordan Pickford, Harry Kane, and the team as they face Panama in New Jersey, where the final will be held next month.

Megan's Role as a WAG

According to reports, Megan has become a leading figure among the WAGs, following in the footsteps of Victoria Beckham, Coleen Rooney, and Alex Gerrard. During England's match against Croatia in Dallas, she wore a cowboy hat with the number one for Jordan's shirt number, paired with a white vest, designer jeans, Gucci sunglasses, and a necklace bearing her daughter's name.

An insider told the Daily Mail: 'Some joke, in a kind way, that she's a bit of a throwback to the old times but it's just so refreshing. She loves it all – the outfits, the glamour and the prestigious role and column inches being a WAG brings. She is so proud of Jordan and so the least she can do is look the part to cheer him on.'

The insider added: 'But in all seriousness, along with Kate Kane – wife of captain Harry – she is the longest-serving partner of the squad. This is her moment to shine, and she will.'
